The private coastal experience
From your doorstep
to the last light.
The coast, at your own pace
Discover bays, sea caves and coastal landmarks around Isola Bella, Giardini Naxos and towards Capo Sant’Alessio. Multiple swimming and snorkeling stops of approximately 20–30 minutes leave time to enjoy the water, with panoramic photo opportunities along the way.
Lunch with an island view
Return to Isola Bella for approximately 3–4 hours ashore. Enjoy lunch at a restaurant overlooking the island, with each guest choosing a Classic menu (€75) or Deluxe menu (€150). Your party can enjoy a mix of both menus.
Your place beside the sea
Unwind in the solarium on sunbeds reserved for your party. Choose sunbeds in the other rows (€60 per pair) or the front row (€80 per pair), subject to availability. Beach towels, snorkeling masks and fins in your size are provided.
A moment to keep
A one-hour professional photography session is included, capturing your experience against the backdrop of Isola Bella.
Back on the water at sunset
Return by boat to the pier as the light changes. If sea conditions are suitable, there may be an opportunity to look for dolphins. These are wild animals and sightings cannot be guaranteed.

One more memory.
A final cruise back to the pier, with the coastline in the evening light, followed by your included transfer back to your accommodation. Dolphin spotting is possible only when sea conditions allow, and sightings are never guaranteed.

Planning your private day in Taormina
How long is the experience?
The complete experience lasts approximately 10 hours, including accommodation transfers, coastal cruising, around 3–4 hours at Isola Bella for lunch and relaxation, professional photography and the sunset return. This is not a 10-hour continuous boat charter. The configurator shows the duration and rate of each boat option.
Is the experience private, and how many guests can join?
The experience is for your own party, with a maximum of 8 guests. Choose your group size to see only boats with sufficient passenger capacity; smaller boats remain available for smaller groups.
Are hotel pickup and return included?
Yes. Pickup from your hotel or holiday home in Taormina, Giardini Naxos or Letojanni and return to the same accommodation are included. Enter the street, house number and town, then check the pickup location on Google Maps.
What determines the price?
Your total combines the selected private boat, the required pairs of sunbeds and the menu chosen by each guest. Front-row sunbeds cost €80 per pair and other rows €60 per pair. For an odd number of guests, the number of pairs is rounded up. Classic lunch is €75 per guest and Deluxe €150. A fixed agency fee for facilitating of €100 plus 22% VAT (€22), totalling €122 per booking, is added once to the total. Lunch drinks are extra.
Can guests choose different lunch menus?
Yes. Each guest can choose Classic or Deluxe independently and indicate food allergies or intolerances. Both are tasting-style menus with a starter, first course, main course and dessert. Deluxe features higher-quality ingredients and more refined dishes. Dishes and availability are confirmed before booking.
Are photography, beach towels and snorkeling equipment included?
Yes. One hour of professional photography, beach towels, snorkeling masks and fins are included. Select each guest’s fins size from the available kit sizes.
